Total Savings = Gas + Parking + Lunch + Coffee + Clothing
Gas = (Distance × 2 ÷ MPG) × Price × Work Days
Time Value = Hours Commuting × Hourly Rate
Studies show remote workers save $2,000–$7,000 per year on commuting, lunches, clothing, and childcare.
Commuting costs (gas/transit) are usually #1, followed by lunches out, professional clothing, and reduced childcare needs.
Some companies apply location-based pay adjustments. If you move to a lower COL area while remote, some may reduce salary by 5–20%.
Average US commute is 27 min each way. That's 180+ hours/year. At your hourly rate, this can be worth thousands.
